Mississauga, ON – Language did not prove to be a barrier when it came to organizing the workers at Dylatech Incorporated.
“All of these workers are new Canadians and English is not their first language,” explained IAMAW District 78 Organizer Scott Jackson. “Fair treatment from their employer is the desire of any worker in any language and IAMAW Organizer Roy Bhansignh was able to deliver our message through the use of translators and that was the key to this organizing victory.”
The 21 new members of IAMAW Local Lodge 1922 consist of machine operators and painters at two facilities in Mississauga, Ontario.
IAMAW, among the largest industrial trade unions in North America, represents more than 700,000 active and retired members, and administers more than 5,000 contracts in transportation, woodworking, aerospace, manufacturing and defense related industries.
